Glazed Screens

Description

A Timber Glazed Screen is a fixed or modular partition system made primarily from timber framing with integrated glazed panels, designed to divide spaces while allowing light transmission and visibility. These screens are commonly used in commercial, educational, and healthcare environments for both functional and aesthetic purposes.

Definition

A timber glazed screen is a non-load-bearing partition that combines the warmth and strength of timber with the transparency of glass. It can be full-height or partial, and often includes integrated doorsets for access.

Key Features

1. Timber Frame
   • Constructed from hardwood or softwood, often factory-finished.
   • Can be veneered or painted to match interior design.
2. Glazed Panels
   • Single or multiple panes of glass.
   • Options include clear, obscure, or fire-rated glass.
3. Performance Options
   • Fire Resistance: Screens can achieve ratings like FD30 or FD60 when fitted with fire-rated glass and seals.
   • Acoustic Control: Laminated or acoustic glass for sound insulation.
   • Safety Glass: Toughened or laminated to meet impact safety standards.
4. Design Variations
   • Full-height screens for open-plan areas.
   • Screens with integrated doorsets for access.
   • Mullion and transom arrangements for aesthetic detailing.

Applications

• Offices: Creating meeting rooms or quiet zones while maintaining openness.
• Healthcare: Segregating spaces without losing visibility for patient monitoring.
• Education: Classroom partitions with natural light flow.
• Hospitality & Retail: Stylish dividers for zones.
